Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to hand-held product dispensers having pressurized delivery.
- Various products have been conveniently dispensed in a pressurized form from a hand-held container such as a spray can. Typically a push button on top of the can is depressed to actuate a valve that provides an open path from the material in the container to a spray nozzle on the push button that directs the pressurized material in a direction that is perpendicular to the push button direction. This push button type of mechanism is often used for antiperspirant, deodorant and shaving cream dispensers.
- Alternatively, some valves are actuated by providing a tilt (sideways push) action to an elongated tubular nozzle that directs the product along the axis of the can. Such valves are often employed in whipped cream dispensers.
- In some dispensing devices, side levers have been used to activate the spray nozzle. Examples are U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,494,349; 3,252,626; 3,648,905 and 4,826,054. The '349 patent has a side lever that is located on one side of a can and is pivotally connected at the other side of the can, and a locking ring around the side of the can under the lever arm that is actuated by rotation. In the '054 patent, before rotating the locking member (which is narrower than the can and at the base of nozzle) the lever is held against side of can; after rotating, the lever moves out and can then be depressed to tilt the nozzle and eject.
- In one aspect, the invention features, in general, a hand-held pressurized product dispenser including a container containing a product under pressure, a valve mechanism and base structure at the top of the container, a nozzle that moves between an unactuated position and a discharge position, and a side lever that extends along the can and is movable to move the nozzle from the unactuated position to the discharge position. The nozzle is rotatably movable with respect to the base structure between a locked position in which the nozzle is prevented from moving from the unactuated position to the discharge position and an unlocked position in which the nozzle is free to move from the unactuated position to the discharge position.
- In another aspect, the invention features, in general, a hand-held pressurized product dispenser including a pressurized product container, valve mechanism, base structure, nozzle and side lever. The dispenser also has a dome that is rotatably connected to the base structure and surrounds the nozzle and has an opening that is aligned with the nozzle orifice. The dome is rotatably movable between a locked position in which the nozzle is prevented from moving from the unactuated position to the discharge position and an unlocked position in which the nozzle is free to move from the unactuated position to the discharge position.
- In another aspect, the invention features, in general, a hand-held pressurized product dispenser including a pressurized product container, valve mechanism, base structure, and nozzle. The base stricture has an upwardly directed surface with solid areas and one or more open areas. The nozzle has one or more downwardly directed feet and is movable with respect to the base structure between a locked position in which the feet are aligned with the solid areas of the upwardly directed surface so that said nozzle is prevented from moving from the unactuated position to the discharge position and an unlocked position in which the feet are aligned with the open areas so that the nozzle is free to move from the unactuated position to the discharge position as the feet move within the open areas.
- Particular embodiments of the invention may include one or more of the following features. The container can be cylindrical about a central axis, and the nozzle can have a tubular portion that extends along the axis. The nozzle orifice can be positioned for axial discharge. The nozzle can be movable along the central axis between the unactuated position and the discharge position. The side lever can have a nozzle displacing portion that is ring-shaped and surrounds a tubular portion of the nozzle and engages an annular platform portion of the nozzle. The side lever can be pivotally connected to the base structure. The base structure can be made of a component that is separate from the container and is secured to the top of the container or can be provided as an integral part of the container. The dome can be snap-fit for rotation on the base structure. The dome and nozzle can both be rotatable about the same axis and have interacting structure (e.g., slots on one component and protrusions on the other) that causes the nozzle to rotate when the dome is rotated. The dome can have one or more stops that engage one or more stops on the base structure to limit rotation of the dome between the locked and unlocked positions. There can be an upwardly directed stops extending from the solid areas of the upwardly directed surface of the base structure and associated with each open area to prevent one of the feet from aligning with an open area when being moved to the locked position.
- Embodiments of the invention may have one or more of the following advantages. Axial discharge with a side lever facilitates use by a consumer. The locking mechanism avoids accidental activation of the side lever when it is initially gripped by a user or when the dispenser is accidentally knocked over. The dome covers and protects the nozzle and portions of the side lever. The nozzle feet and associated openings provide a reliable and easily actuated locking mechanism.
- Other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description and from the claims.

In operation, the user holdsdispenser 10 with handengageable portion 28 of the can andlever arm portion 30 between the thumb and fingers. - Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, it is seen that
nozzle 20 has atubular portion 32 that extends alongaxis 33 and anannular platform 34 at its base.Side lever 16 has a ring-shaped portion 36 that surroundstubular portion 32 and rests onannular platform 34.Side lever 16 is pivotally connected tobase 14 for pivoting aboutaxis 38 viaprojections 39 at end 40 ofside lever 16 that engage slots 41 (FIG. 7 ) inbase 14.Nozzle 20 has an internal tube (not shown) for interacting with delivery tube 23 (FIG. 2 ) of the valve delivery mechanism, to depresstube 23 and direct product discharged fromtube 23 tonozzle orifice 22. The upper end oftubular portion 32 has fourslots 42 that open outward extend a short distance along the length.Dome 18 has four inwardly directed vanes 44 (shown inFIG. 4 at sectioned portion of nozzle 20) that sit withinrespective slots 42.Vanes 44 interact withslots 42 to transmit rotation ofdome 18 tonozzle 20. - Referring to FIGS. 5 to 7,
nozzle 20 has four downwardly directedfeet 46underneath platform 34 that rest on a solid portion of upwardly directedsurface 48 ofbase 14 whennozzle 20 is in a locked position. OnFIG. 7 , theposition 50 for afoot 46 in the locked position is shown in phantom.Surface 48 has fouropenings 52 through it for receivingrespective feet 46 whennozzle 20 is in the unlocked position. OnFIG. 7 , the position 54 for afoot 46 in the unlocked position is shown in phantom aligned with anopening 52. Four upwardly-directedprojections 56 are located on one side of each opening 52 to prevent afoot 46 from moving beyond the lockedposition 50 into thenearby opening 52.Platform 34 hasrecesses 58 on one side of eachfoot 46 to receiveprojections 56 whenfeet 46 are aligned with and moving intoopenings 52. - Referring to
FIG. 8 ,dome 18 has two internal dome stops 60, 62 that engage withbase stop 64 onbase 14 to limit rotation ofdome 18 between the locked and unlocked positions. - When not in use,
dispenser 10 can be move to the locked position by rotatingdome 18 clockwise until dome stop 60 (FIG. 8 )contacts base stop 64. At the same time,nozzle 20 will be rotated, owing to interaction ofvanes 44 inslots 42, until all fourfeet 46 ofnozzle 20 reach the locked position 50 (only oneposition 50 shown onFIG. 7 ) adjacent toprojections 56. Becausefeet 46overlie surface 48 in this position, they prevent downward movement ofnozzle 20 and accidental discharge of product. When it is desired to usedispenser 10, the user rotatesdome 18 counterclockwise until dome stop 62contacts base stop 64. At thistime feet 46 are aligned with openings 52 (see position 54 for onefoot 46 inFIG. 7 ). In this position, the spring action of thetube 23 of the valve delivery mechanism ofcan 12 stillbiases nozzle 20 upward. However, because feet are aligned withopenings 52, they are free to move downward intoopenings 52 whenlever 16 is depressed and ring-shapedportion 36 moves downward, to activate discharge of the valve delivery mechanism and axial delivery of product fromnozzle orifice 22. - Other embodiments of the invention are within the scope of the appended claims.
